CHAMP® Concludes 2009 Pink On The Links With Great Success.
Marlborough, MA – CHAMP®, the company known for being the leader in innovative traction technology, finalizes the promotional campaign Pink on the Links 2009 with overwhelming results.
CHAMP created Pink on the Links™ in 2007 as a way to raise funds for breast cancer research and honor mothers the world over. The program has grown generously in the past three years in participation as well as fund raising.
The reaction from professional golfers world wide was impressionable as players from the PGA, LPGA, Duramed Futures and European Tour for a third year had an overwhelming number of participants to donate money to the American Cancer Society.
In 2009 having over 300 players agree to change into the pink and white spikes in support, CHAMP reached an all time high donation of over $15,000. In addition to the professional golfers support, CHAMP reached out to the every day golfer in hopes that as they tune up their golf shoes for the season they too would purchase a CHAMP product from our online partner www.golfspikes.com where a portion of sales would also be donated to the cause.
“We are absolutely thrilled with this year’s participation in our Pink on the Links program. Golfers of all levels found it in their hearts, even in these tough economical times, to participate in vast numbers and rally around our search for a cure.” states Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of MacNeill Engineering/CHAMP. “This year in particular as breast cancer has hit so close to home on the PGA Tour we are reminded that cancer is unpredictable. I am both thankful and honored to be a part of something that is so successful and meaningful to today’s golfers. You can be sure this is something we will continue to support and we will raise even more money for research in years to come.”
“Our partnership with CHAMP on the Pink on the Links promotion was a great success for cancer patients, their families and caregivers,” said Gloria Jetter, regional executive director for the American Cancer Society. “The promotion helps the Society continue to provide free programs and services that are vital to those affected by cancer.”
